Write about the wilderness or climbing? Some of our members—including Past President Steve Swenson and Alpinist Editor in Chief Katie Ives—have attended this writers’ workshop in Banff before and loved it! As they say on their website: “In this unique residency program, six writers delve into their own writing projects (essay, memoir, biography, feature article, poetry, or work of fiction) on a topic in the area of mountain or wilderness culture. This includes writing with a focus on adventure, history, or the environment.”
